Once you have completed all case studies, pick one of your best out of the three, create screen shots of all your output of the Excel tasks of ONLY one case study as per your choice. Copy and paste all output into the MS PowerPoint so that your slides contain all the output produced with MS Excel.
When you copy and paste the MS Excel into MS PowerPoint, you must use the “show formulas” feature in MS Excel to show your formulas.
Your PowerPoint slides must be no more than 10 slides and no more than 30 minutes (depending on instructions) containing
